About

An international art & literature magazine based in Ireland, featuring poetry and short fiction by established and up-and-coming writers, including the likes of Yusef Kumunyakaa, Sara Baume, Joshua Cohen and Billy Collins. The artwork comes from across the globe - from the likes of Michael Carson, Elizabeth Peyton and Chantal Joffe. Each issue also features two interviews with the likes of DBC Pierre, Sally Rooney, Gary Shteyngart and Simon Armitage. ‘The Moth is a beautiful creature.’ David Mitchell ‘There’s a great Kandinsky colour-as-music feel to the magazine.’ Nichola Deane ‘No other magazine like it.’ Billy Collins ‘The Moth magazine is a thing of beauty.’ Caoilinn Hughes ‘The Moth is an amazing magazine.’ Donal Ryan ‘If you want to keep your finger on the pulse, The Moth magazine is all you need.’ Christine Dwyer Hickey ‘Exquisitely designed and choc-a-bloc with exciting new artworks and wordworks.’ Paul Durcan.
